Emily (1430 KP) rated Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future by Underworld in Music

Nice flow to the album (0 more)

No real stand-out tracks (0 more)

You hear the beat of the first track and you know it's going to be a good Underworld album. This whole album seems to be more beat/bass focused than their more melodic ones, but it works well. Starts off quite energetic and bright at the beginning, then allows down and has a darker feel for tracks 4 and 5 before lightening up again towards the end. I didn't really dislike any tracks, although preferred the more energetic ones, but also nothing really stood out, unlike previous albums where there have been one or two tracks that I just love listening to again and again. If I had to pick a favourite track it would be the first one, "I Exhale".

Movie Favorite

"Black Moon is a quintessential “surreal” film. What interests me is that so many films that we would label surreal were made in the sixties and seventies, decades (and many art movements) after surrealism’s inception. By the time so many of these surreal films were being made, the prevalent trend in art was toward conceptualism and minimalism, approaches aimed at stripping away the non sequitur . . . which is, in essence, the guiding principle at work in Black Moon. What is also interesting to me is the tenor of most of these films. While Zéro de conduit captures a certain joie de vivre and sense of humor, which, I feel, is indicative of the early surrealists, the nature of many later surreal films generally seems much darker—more Max Ernst than, say, Magritte."

Plot filler : a star wars story

Ok so Rogue one looked like it had the potential to be something new and continue to grow afterwards, but what we got was a movie that was literally just made to cover decades of plot holes, piss off fans and cash in on a major franchise!
This was the Suicide Squad of the star wars universe, only better characters, better story and people kinda enjoyed it.
It had its usual great VFX but a more darker grittier tone which worked well with the story.

Unfortunately this movie didn't even have any of the good scenes from the trailer which one can only assume ended up on the cutting floor.

Honestly, I feel like this was my favorite game in the trilogy. I liked seeing a darker side to Lara and her coming to terms with a lot of her actions having consequences. I loved exploring the Amazon and seeing where the story took me. The optional tombs were interesting and the platforming felt like it had better controls here. It sounds silly, but I did like that I got to pat all the llamas in one area. I had a good time with the game because of the story, characters, and gameplay. I know there are comparisons to Uncharted which I have also played, but I like them both for different reasons.
